The whole shebang is expertly put together and viewers are guaranteed plenty of darkly comic fun and one or two wistful moments, too.

If you enjoyed No Country for Old Men, O, Brother Where Art Thou or True Grit, this is a welcome return for the Coens to the western genre.
4.5
Perhaps thats the overarching lesson imparted by Buster Scruggs, and why the films title bears his name, not a title from the anthologys other stories ..
Deep Focus Review

Because this isnt a movie about the Old Westits a movie about Death.

The Coen Brothers make the genre transitions seem easy. There is a little of everything we love about them in this unique piece.

For this reason, Beale Street isnt as immediate as Moonlight; it doesnt have that inexorable pull through the characters lives.
